2026 Rustler 41

Design and Pedigree
This listing represents an early 2026 build slot for the Rustler 41, offering a rare opportunity to secure a place within Rustler Yachts’ limited production schedule. Designed by Tony Castro and hand-built in Falmouth, the Rustler 41 is a modern interpretation of the classic gentleman’s launch, blending elegant lines with contemporary performance.
Hull and Performance
The design centres around a deep-V hull, engineered to deliver confident handling and refined performance at speed. As a result, the Rustler 41 offers a reassuring and capable platform for coastal and offshore cruising, while maintaining the understated style and build quality the yard is known for.
Bespoke Build Opportunity
Securing this build slot allows the future owner to work directly with the yard throughout the construction process. This includes the ability to personalise the specification, interior finishes, materials, machinery options, and onboard systems. Because of Rustler’s bespoke approach, each yacht is tailored carefully to its owner’s intended use rather than built to a fixed template.
Ownership Experience
This opportunity offers more than simply acquiring a yacht. It provides the chance to be involved from concept through to completion, shaping a truly individual, British-built motor yacht with guidance from an experienced and respected yard.
Location
The build will take place in Falmouth, Cornwall.
